This course begins with a review of data and linear representation, numbers and functions, and systems of linear equations and inequalities. Students then study the structure and uses of matrices. Complex numbers and their operations are introduced, and curve fitting with quadratic models and quadratic inequalities are presented. A variety of applications that are modeled by polynomial, rational, radical, logarithmic, exponential, and trigonometric functions are explored. Students are exposed to basic conic sections and their relationship to the coordinate plane. Discrete mathematics is studied in depth, familiarizing students with applications of probability and statistics. Although students are exposed to the same topics covered in Academic Algebra II, this course focuses more on application than theory.
